This is Christmas

Set in London during the busy yuletide season, this festive rom-com follows Adam (Alfred Enoch) and Emma (Kaya Scodelario) on their daily commute from the picture-perfect village of Langton to London, meeting the same passengers every day. When their train breaks down in the middle of the countryside, everyone’s Christmas celebrations are in serious danger of being derailed.

That is until Adam takes it upon himself to break the unspoken taboo of talking to strangers on a train and invites the whole carriage to hold their own Christmas party.

This is Christmas is streaming on Sky Cinema with Now.

The Nan Movie

Catherine Tate’s Joannie Taylor – aka Nan – goes on a wild road trip from London to Ireland with her long-suffering grandson Jamie (Mathew Horne) to make amends with her estranged and dying sister Nell (Katherine Parkinson).

The Nan Movie is streaming on Sky Cinema with Now from December 10.

Predators

In this thrilling new nature series narrated by Tom Hardy, five apex predators face the ultimate test to survive as their rapidly changing world impacts both their own lives and that of the wild kingdoms over which they rule. Those at the top are now being challenged, territories are being redrawn, and new relationships formed.

In this ever-shifting landscape, each predator must overcome new challenges and grasp new opportunities. For polar bears in Canada, wild dogs in Zimbabwe, pumas in Chile, lions in Botswana, and cheetahs in Tanzania, this is the ultimate power struggle.

Predators is streaming on Sky Nature with Now from December 11.

In this coming-of-age drama, aspiring teen artist Angie Chen (Emma Galbraith) is blindsided by her parents’ sudden divorce, and turns to secret hookups with popular jock Liam (William Magnuson). As she contends with her parents’ divorce and her secret fling with Liam – behind the back of his adored social media influencer girlfriend Sheryl (Emily Garrett) – Angie comes to discover what she wants – and who she wants to be.
